The Skins Essential Sleeve

The Skins Essentials Sleeve really is a wardrobe essential for athletes who want the best out of their workouts. Targeted compression stabilises muscles for improved power output and reduces the risk of injury, whilst the premium fabric keeps you cool and protected from UV rays.

Targeted Compression

Compression helps blood oxygenation and reduces fatigue during exercise, whilst also supporting the muscles for optimum power output. This support also reduces muscle oscillation and reduces the risk of micro-tears in the muscles and tendon and joint damage. This sleeve has gradient compression for targeted compression, applying the most compression and giving the most support to the biceps, triceps and forearms. This means you can keep going for longer and really put your everything into your workouts without worrying about injury or soreness.

Premium Fabric

This sleeve is made with premium compression fabric that delivers compression whilst also remaining incredibly cool, breathable and comfortable. Heat and moisture are wicked away from the bod to the outside of the sleeve where it can dissipate and dry quickly - meaning your arms stay happy all day long. Another benefit of this fabric and the coverage it provides is that it protects your arms from the sun and harmful UV rays. This makes these sleeves perfect for the summer or outdoor exercise on longer days, as you can get in the training hours with less risk of sunburn or other harmful UV damage.
